About

Born in Rome on 7 December 1911, Torlonia was the son of Marino Torlonia, 4th Prince di Civitella-Cesi and his American wife, Mary Elsie Moore.[1][2] Don Alessandro's youngest sister was Donna Marina Torlonia di Civitella-Cesi,[1] grandmother of the American actress Brooke Shields.[3] Thus he was Shields's grand-uncle. On the death of his father in 1933, he inherited large estates as well as his father's princely and other titles.[4][5]

In 1941, when his mother was dying in New York City, Torlonia took a high speed boat from Portugal and was arrested in error by FBI, thinking he was an enemy of the state and taken to Ellis Island.[6]

In the 1980s, Torlonia held the title as the "richest man in Rome", as he was the heir to a banking fortune.[7] He died in the Palazzo Torlonia, Rome, in 1986.
